"I learn so much from every session with Anne and gain confidence exponentially because she is such a patient and helpful tutor. Anne is incredibly kind and is very receptive to catering the lessons to your learning style. I have tried a few different tutors in the past and none compare. She is organized and enthusiastic, and the time flies by each session. Looking forward to continuing to progress with his help! ANNE IS THE BEST!!"

"I started conversational lessons with Anne because I wanted to practice my communication with people from Rio as well as to learn a little more about the culture of Rio itself. I had recently traveled to Rio and couldn't understand any one who spoke with the Carioca accent. Anne delivered on both fronts. She communicates clearly and speaks at a pace that is easy to understand. She knows a lot about the culture of Rio (especially from the perspective of the younger generation) and she helped me learn a lot about the different slang and expressions used in Rio (they can be way different than those used in SP). She also has a carioca accent, which helped me understand other people from Rio. Thanks to lessons with Anne, when I returned to Rio, I was able to understand people with ease and now understand many of the differences in sound that they use (a lot of shhhh sounds). She's motivated to teach and is willing to give you a conversational-based lesson around any topic that you might want to learn more vocabulary about. If you're looking for great conversational practice, I recommend Anne."

"I don’t know how Anne knew I saved her at Preply, but shortly after she convinced me of a trail by messaging of her own accord. Very ambitious, right? What I like is the mixture of conversation and going back to basics. And don’t let her smile fool you, she is not wrapping you in cotton wool. She wants you to learn and she is well prepared. That’s right by me."

"Anne is a great teacher and I have loved learning Portuguese with her! You can tell she is passionate about helping others not only learn the language, but also learn about Brazil. I love the mix of conversation and grammar activities in our classes and I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their Portuguese!"

"Personally I'm an intermediate level student I still need the occasional review and grammar lesson. But I'm also at that point where i need to practice USING what i know. Which is exactly where Anne is perfect for an intermediate level student. Because she does being exercises that help you correct your pronunciation, as well as preparing you for conversation. So on top of good exercises and pronunciation, then comes the practical aspect of her very fun teaching method which is fun and cool, getting to use your Português. Só for me personally she's really helped me put it all together '. It's truly quite amazing, because you feel that growth. Without feeling pressured by yourself or that feeling of fear to fail. I highly recommend her."

Common questions

Do I need to know any Portuguese to start? +

Not at all! Many of my students start from zero. I'll tailor the pace and content to your level — whether you're a complete beginner or already conversational. Learn more about beginner lessons →

What happens in a typical lesson? +

Each 50-minute session is built around your goals. We might work through conversation practice, grammar exercises, cultural deep-dives, or exam prep — whatever moves you forward. I bring structured materials but keep things flexible.

After payment, you'll pick a time on my calendar that works for you. Lessons happen over Zoom. Monthly and intensive students book one lesson at a time and can choose different days each week.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule? +

Life happens! Just let me know at least 24 hours before your lesson and we'll reschedule — no penalty. Late cancellations count as a used lesson.
